OW FS vs OC&C

I have a friend who is trying to decide between Oliver Wyman FS & OC&C. She's undecided about what she wants to do in the future (not that interested in an MBA and not too interested in going into financial services). Exits seem to be a big concern.

Thoughts?

Thanks!!

nycIBD - Is it because of the better brand? Does the brand matter that much if she doesn't want to exit into financial services? She's concerned that the lack of experience/expertise in other industries will impact her mobility.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
